Children & Youth Ministry Guidelines

Introduction

The main objective of these guidelines is to provide a safe, secure and nurturing environment for children (newborn through age seventeen) entrusted to the Brethren in Christ congregations and Ministries.  In addition we aim for protection of workers from false allegations, as well as the reduction of legal risk and liability exposure.

The Children and Youth Ministry Guidelines, along with the Children and Youth Ministry Protection Resource Guide, have been written to help each congregation and ministry develop its own guidelines giving specific details particular to its own unique situation.
